Here are the scenarios for this week’s Walgreens Ad. This post includes specific items you can purchase and coupons that you can use to maximize your dollar AND your Register Rewards at Walgreens. Please know that you do not have to follow these transactions if you do not want to. The goal of this post is to help you get an idea on how to roll your RRs from one week to the next. Please also know that these transactions do not take into account tax. Every state taxes differently so you may need to budget a little extra to cover tax.

**Don’t forget that Register Rewards expire very quickly and if you let them expire, you are basically throwing away money. If you are concerned you will let them expire, I would put your RRs towards paper products like toilet paper and paper towels which are hard to get dirt cheap!
Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
You can use your RR at Walmart now! Good to keep in mind if they are about to expire. I did it this week with no problem as long as they say “manufacturer coupon” on them.
I’m a little confused on why you would get a filler item. Can someone explain? Thanks.
You should have equal number of items and coupons, like If you have 5 items to buy, you should have only 5 coupons including RRs.If you have more coupons than the items, the register will beep.To avoid this you can buy items that are cheap for 10 or 20 cents.
And also you cant pay tax with coupons or RRs.For that also you need filler items.
I hope this helps.
the Purex laundry detergent showed up as 2.99 in my ad in brandon,fl
